Fall protection on flat roofs with HAILO safety railing at ladder exit

According to DIN EN ISO 14122-4, DIN 14094 and DIN 18799-3, fixed ladders with possible fall heights above 3 m must be equipped with devices to protect against falls.

The HAILO Professional side exit railing is used for personal safety when entering and exiting fixed ladders onto a roof surface and exceeds the normative requirements of 1.50 m per side from the ladder axis.

The railing is attached to the exit unit of the ladder. The railing is stabilized by means of plastic-coated concrete weights. This ensures a penetration-free installation without the formation of thermal bridges. Thanks to the modular system structure, as well as the lightweight aluminum construction, the assembly can be carried out in a very short time.

Depending on the condition of the roof (with or without parapet), the safety railing is additionally equipped with a baseboard.

  • Installation without drilling or interventions in the roof sealing
  • No thermal bridges
  • Ballast weights with highly resistant polyethylene sheathing
  • Both sides 1.70m from ladder axis / 1.40m effective length
  • Fast installation due to modular system components
